Actually the XSD is XML itself. Its purpose is to validate the structure of another XML document. The XSD is not mandatory for any XML, but it assures that the XML could be used for some particular purposes. The XML is only containing data in suitable format and structure.
The difference is the following: xs:int is a signed 32-bit integer. xs:integer is an integer unbounded value. See for details https://web.archive.org/web/20151117073716/http://www.w3schools.com/schema/schema_dtypes_numeric.asp For example, XJC (Java) generates Integer for xs:int and BigInteger for xs:integer.

The Java XML parser that spring uses will read the schemaLocation values and try to load them from the internet, in order to validate the XML file. Spring, in turn, intercepts those load requests and serves up versions from inside its own JAR files. If you omit the schemaLocation, then the XML parser won’t know … Read more
To expand on the “use JAXB” comments above, In Windows “%java_home%\bin\xjc” -p [your namespace] [xsd_file].xsd e.g., “%java_home%\bin\xjc” -p com.mycompany.quickbooks.obj quickbooks.xsd Wait a bit, and if you had a well-formed XSD file, you will get some well-formed Java classes
